Here is the overview:
  I have not seen good program for converting postgres table into DBF file,  and reverse. That is why I wrote this
pg2xbaseutility. This is my first  program written in C++, then there could be some lacks.

The main problem of such conversion is numerouse DBF format versions. 
It different mainly in memo fields and floating numbers.

Sample conversion can easy be done by PHP or PERL, for advanced one
it's better to use ODBC under MS Win.

Hmmmm.  I'm wondering.  How many others here have written little utilities
to perform other one time or occasional tasks?  We can put them all on one
